Journal Article
The Poetic Negotiations of a Gentleman Radical: Ernest Jones and the \Mighty Mind\
2015
Overview
Descriptions of \"pouring . . . over\" and \"forming the tone\" are unequivocal in their indication of influence and agency, ref lecting the Chartist perception of the active role of poetry within the movement formed prior to Jones's involvement around a favored group of poets including Allen Davenport,2 Benjamin Stott,3 and Thomas Cooper.4 But in addition to its political function, Jones's popular poetry throughout his Chartist involvement served to negotiate the complex issues arising from the forging and maintenance of a relationship between a young man whom Feargus O'Connor described as \"a sprig of the aristocracy,\" and the largely working-class membership of a mass political movement. Where the iambic \"Our Summons\" has a bouncing, song-like rhythm, \"Our Destiny\" begins with heavy trochees and drawn-out anapests, and this, along with the liberal use of exclamation marks, gives the poem's opening an urgent, insistent feel.\\n With the collections The Battle-Day and Other Poems (1855) and Corayda: A Tale of Faith and Chivalry, and Other Poems (1860), Jones's post-prison poetic output broadened to include medieval epics, social satires, and the re-publication of pre-Chartist material which privileged Romantic solitude.
